Hi Cattle people!
I am posting this regarding someone else's bull. I don't know much about cows, I'm a goat person!
This is Leroy. He is an 11 month old Brown Swiss bull. And he is TINY. He is maybe 4' at the withers. Aside from the obvious fact that this guy shouldn't be keeping a random bull in his backyard for no apparent reason (and no one else can go in with him because he's pushy)... Why is he so little?
Okay I'm going to give as much information as I have... And this is what would be pertinent if he was a goat lol. He eats some hay, plenty of grain and has a salt block and loose minerals. He has no scouring but has not been dewormed since he was a few months old. He was a bottle baby but was weaned around 3 months old. His barn was previously occupied by horses and there are chickens on the property but not in with him.
And yes he had frostbite on his ears last winter. @farmerjan you know Brown Swiss. Ideas?
